Welcome to the Alternatives Podcast! Here, you're promised an honest conversation. We're going to address topics that are sometimes uncomfortable to discuss, like relationships, sexuality, and all things adulting. Not talking about these things can leave us feeling confused, alone and rejected. So this is why we want to come along side you, share what we have learned and empower you. Some of us are old. And some of us are young. This is not your mama's podcast, but she is welcome, all are welcome.
